'Ratchet & Clank Collection' dated for North America

Ratchet & Clank Collection has been given a North American release date.

Sony confirmed that the trilogy compilation will arrive on August 28 in North America.

The collection will include the first three games in the series - Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

Each game features updated 1080p high definition graphics, 3D support, trophies and competitive online multiplayer.

As a bonus for the North American release, Ratchet & Clank Collection will also include a 10th anniversary Ratchet & Clank PSN avatar and first access to the demo for the upcoming Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

In Europe the collection, titled Ratchet & Clank HD Trilogy, released last month but without the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demo.
